My sharpest CHEAP knife.

All victorinox,opinel and similar blades get scary sharp,moras too,but they have thick stock and that scandi grind...abd bind into materials
 
Well on a scale of 1 to 100 - with 100 being the most popular & 1 being only slightly more popular than a MAGA hat in DC at the moment....
(yeah go ahead y'll & rate my response as a negative 5 :D :D :D )
I have to say, the one single knife that stands out in my mind for being sharp - staying sharp - and going though some terrible abuse is:

A 3" blade ceramic no-name kitchen knife I picked up at a discount home center for about $5. Stupid thing has to be over 10 years old - has sliced a mountain of fruits & vegetables - has lived at the bottom of a sink half filled with water & dirty dishes for days on end - and can still slice a tomato with ease & no need to have to "start" the cut.

Somewhere along the way - the end of the tip broke off & it has this gnarly chip out of it - but - it still slices with the best of them.

It's a fixed blade though - not a folder.

I also have a condor bushlore and its metal seems to be very soft compared the mora. I pretty much sharpen both at the same angle and I can run my finger nail along the edge and the condor rolls over quite a bit compared to the mora that does not.

That's interesting... as I have not seen that occur on my bushlore (yet) ... i'll keep my eye out on that one. :)
 
I think the suggestions for either Opinel and the Higonokami knives would work perfectly as garden tools and they sharpen as easily as Moras.
 
Any folder that catches your fancy should be able to be sharpened to a hair popping level.

I think every knife enthusiast should be able to hand sharpen on stones. Because then you can easily sharpen in the field.

When time is important or grinds are way off on big knives or you want to reprofile a big blade, power tools are your friend.
